A sake that has been created with a slow, volatile process that only the most skilled Toji (brewmasters) can utilize to their advantage. The talented Daijiro Hata, the brewery's 4th generation owner and Toji, has created a powerful and flavorful kimoto sake with locally harvested Yamada Nishiki rice. Despite a full-body character, it is not a heavy sake. Its volume and richness create a definite food connection, reminiscent of steamed rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aroma is like fresh air, with some sweetness and umami at the end. In the mouth you taste a mild rice sweetness, followed by a very Kimoto´esque spicy acidity that develops minute by minute as the temperature changes. The viscous sake coats the mouth so the flavor lingers for a long time after. The final hiss of the aftertaste feels like cool notes of English licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complexity of the acidity makes each taste a unique experience. Likewise, when you open the bottle the next day, you'll find new layers of flavor constructed with the utmost care and precision by the skilled Toji Daijiro Hata.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Preferably at around 16 degrees, or at room temperature if you want a richer flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: This sake is a gift for cheese. Preferably hard cow's milk cheeses such as gruyére, aged cheddar, or comté. In a way, it's a strong sake that calls for food with some fat and salt. In other words, meat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume: 720ml\/1800ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026nbsp;Alcohol: 17%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026nbsp;Polishing: 65%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026nbsp;Rice variety: Yamada Nishiki (Shiga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026nbsp;Yeast type: Ambient yeast (a bit like number 9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNamazume (pasteurization in the bottle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrewery: Hata Shuzo, Shiga Prefecture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hata Shuzo","offers":[{"title":"720ml","offer_id":54408950579545,"sku":"DKJYN-720","price":47.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1800ml","offer_id":54408950612313,"sku":"DKJYN-1800","price":118.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0148\/2312\/9188\/files\/daijiro-kimoto-junmai-yamada-nishiki-hiire-667919.jpg?v=1712361855","url":"https:\/\/minikasake.com\/en-fi\/products\/daijiro-kimoto-junmai-yamada-nishiki","provider":"Manaka Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
